Krampus: The Reckoning

Stupidly I watched this one thinking it was the Krampus that's been getting all the buzz lately and half way through it I could not understand why it was even given a cinema release. Later I realised it's a different movie to the well received one with Toni Collette in it.

Honestly this is absolute trash. It's like a 70's porn movie, even the soundtrack is 70's porn and it also contains a few pornographic scenes between two unattractive actors - not sexy at all.

I wish I hadn't wasted my time watching this trash. No-one could act, the cinematography - well it doesn't even deserve the title - it was just awful.

SOrry everything about this was awful. I feel dirty just having watched it

This film has very little to do with Christmas (I remember seeing one Christmas tree) there a few comments of "Merry Christmas" but other than that it doesnt have any Christmas feel to it. I can only imagine that it must be Christmas in a warm area because nobody so much as wears a jacket. Krampus has about 5 seconds of screen time throughout the whole movie. It's really just a movie about a creepy little orphan girl. The acting is stiff and the characters are cardboard cliche. Its hard to find any sympathy toward any character as the little orphan girl is an irritating brat, the cops just make up police terminology to sound cool and the psychologist is a absolute moron. The psychologist even gets outsmarted by the little orphan girl when she tries to question her, and ends up telling the girl more personal information than she was getting out of her young patient; which says a lot about her level of education. Does this woman even have a degree? Even the cops in the movie are creepers. One married cop tries to cox the psychologist to join him at the bar, then the next night shows up at her house drunk in the middle of the night, and they eventually end up in bed together. My guess is that she was screwing the cop all along to keep her fake degree a secret.

Overall, the story is boring, the acting is horrible, it barely qualifies as a Christmas movie, and the villain is basically non-existent. Just another film trying to cash in on the Krampus legacy.

The first reviewer has been watching too many 10 star horror movies (is there such a thing?).

Never ever judge a movie by the reviewers....you might miss something that is not a typical B-Movie Horror Flick.

Krampus is just that kind of movie. I have almost every Creature Feature Flick that I can ever hope to download. I have the bore you to death to "where did that come from" movies. Krampus is one such movie.

OK...it is definitely low budget...but what B-movie isn't!!! The acting is a little wooden but presentable for not having one headliner actor at all.

The plot will surprise you...it actually pulls you along. The Creature doesn't act as well as it looks...and it looks great. I wanted more of the Creature....but alas. The ending could have cleaned things up a little better, but it worked.

The creepy little girl thing has been worked over timelessly. Yet...big surprise here...I love creepy little girls. And for you tata lovers....The movie has something for you too.

I give all B-movie Horror films a 5 star rating if it absolutely doesn't suck. Try this one for size. Would love to hear how you felt about it. Q(:-}

I am not going to call it awful because the story was pretty good, but the acting was terrible. The lead female with her droopy sad eyes, became annoying to look at just like that big bald guy with the ugly smile who looked like Daddy Warbucks. This story is interesting but so unbelievably rushed at the end. Some parts of this movie made no sense. Maybe it is just me, I dunno. I did not love this movie or hate this movie. I am somewhere in between. I think if the acting was better I might have enjoyed this movie a whole lot more. Regardless, if you want to see a movie with bad acting and ugly actors, this is the movie for you.

Hard to watch, almost fell asleep a few times and I do ask myself, why didn't it?

It's quite a bad movie, from every point of view, it's cheap, with bad acting, horrible dialogue, tries too much to blend in some horror elements and the Krampus itself ...I know a small budget allows too little glamour on screen but still, 2015 comes with some standards.

Anyway, I went it with some expectations, but I ended it with red eyes and yawn after yawn. This isn't a horror movie, it's a weak production, with one of the worse sound tracks ever, that will make you roll your eyes more than anything.

Cheers!
